TOEFL Speaking Task 2

Notice: The university will extend the library's operating hours from 10 p.m. to midnight on weekdays, starting next semester. This change aims to accommodate students who prefer to study late. Additional staff will be hired to ensure safety and maintain study environments.

Man: Did you see the notice about the library hours? I think it's a fantastic idea. I often lose track of time while studying and have to leave at 10 p.m. right when I'm in the zone. Now I can stay until midnight and finish my work. Woman: But won't it cost more to keep the library open longer? Man: They said they're hiring extra staff, but I think it's worth it. Also, more students will use the library at night, so it's not wasted money. Plus, with more time, I can avoid the crowded evening rush and find a quiet spot easily. Woman: That's true, but I worry about safety on campus late at night. Man: They mentioned safety measures, and I believe the university will provide adequate lighting and security. Overall, I think it's a great update for serious students like me.
